My Healing Game - Chapter 700

, !

The old man sat alone in front of the freezer, wielding the knife skillfully with both hands, the sound of the fish scales being scraped off and the short song humming in her mouth combined, causing goose bumps all over the people who heard it.

Han Fei, who was standing at the door, coughed softly, and the movements in the old man’s hands stopped immediately, and the room became silent in an instant.

His hands covered with fish scales and bloodstained slowly stretched out. The old man pulled down his turban and covered half of his face before timidly turning his head to look at the back door.

The bright eyes are like black gems, full of luster, as if polished by the constant stream of water.

“Are you here for dinner? I’m sorry, the chef is not here. If you are really hungry, I can make something for you to eat.” The old lady’s voice was much younger compared to her age, and it was not that old and hoarse. Feeling: “Don’t worry, you don’t charge money.”

Smelling the stench of the house, Yan Le and the player lost their appetites, but Han Fei had a smile on his face: “I’ll trouble you then.”

He spoke very politely, and his gentle appearance was completely different from before.

“No trouble, our town is developed by tourists, and helping you is helping us.” The old man seemed to have something to say. When Han Fei wanted to see her expression clearly, the old man had already turned around.

She took off the apron covered with fish scales, threw it into the pool next to her, and entered another room in the back kitchen holding the knife specially used to scrape fish scales.

“Han Fei, are you sure you want to eat here?” In reality, the player who is a lifeguard is a little scared. He knows some survival skills and has good water skills, but that is only compared with ordinary people, which really makes him avoid the water ghost. If he robs someone, he will also be guilty.

“It’s rare to meet a living person. It’s better to have a good chat.” After the old man left, Han Fei walked towards the freezer and the sink. He looked at the fish scales on the ground and picked up a black scale with flesh and blood: “You Do you know what kind of fish scales these are?”

“I’ve never seen such big and hard scales. Could it be a giant bone snake fish?” The lifeguard frowned and followed behind Han Fei. It stinks.

“Then look at what kind of fish are in this freezer? Are there any special species?” Han Fei asked the lifeguard to check the freezer, while he stood beside the sink.

When the old lady left, there was a seemingly casual but deliberate action. After she took off the apron, she did not put it on the hook, but threw it directly into the sink, so that the apron floated in the sink and covered it. water surface.

“What are you looking at?”

“When we came in, the old lady was scraping the fish scales, but after we came in, the fish she was scraping disappeared. I suspect that when she took the apron, she wrapped the fish in the apron and threw it directly into the into the sink.” Han Fei said some details that others didn’t notice at all, he ignored Yan Le, picked up the iron hook next to him and fished out the apron.

I don’t know what the water tank, which is two meters long and one meter wide, is used. It is filled with a pool of sewage, which is turbid and dirty, and exudes a pungent odor.

“Whether you use this water to raise or clean fish, will you die if you eat it?” The lifeguard has already checked the freezer: “There are some very common fish in there, nothing special.”

Han Fei didn’t respond to the lifeguard. His eyes were fixed on the sink, imitating the old lady’s movement of throwing the apron in his mind.

“If there is a fish hidden in the apron, it will probably fall in this place.” Rolling up his sleeves, Han Fei reached into the sink under the amazed gaze of the lifeguard.

Contrary to his expectations, the seemingly small sink is actually very deep, and the arm is completely submerged in it, and he hasn’t even touched it to the bottom.

“So deep?”

Unable to find what to throw into the sink, Han Fei had to give up, but just as he was about to take his hand out of the sink, his fingertips touched something slippery, like fish flesh with scales scraped off .

He stretched out his five fingers and grabbed it, but what made his complexion slightly changed was that what he caught was not a fish, but five fingers.

“That’s a human hand!”

It’s not the fish that the old lady has been scraping off the scales, but a broken hand?

At the moment of thinking in his mind, Han Fei suddenly felt a huge force. His arm seemed to be bitten by the mouth of a big fish, and he fell towards the sink!

At the critical moment, Han Fei stepped on the edge of the sink with one foot, and the ugly cat in his backpack also wailed, and then the “big fish” let go.

The water splashed everywhere, and Han Fei’s face was only a foot away from the turbid and dirty water. He quickly pulled out his arm.

The viscera and blood of the fish slipped down his arm. Han Fei didn’t care at all. He stared at his hand carefully. There was a circle of tooth marks on his wrist. It was not a sharp tooth mark, but a living person’s tooth mark.

“Is there a corpse in the pool?” Han Fei wanted to continue to check, but the old man walked out of another room in the back kitchen. The lifeguard also stood in front of Han Fei with wink, and helped Han Fei with his body to block it. that arm.

The old lady didn’t notice anything unusual. Her head and face were covered by the turban, and she couldn’t see any expression: “This place is quite messy, you should go to the restaurant and wait.”

The clothes on her body also exuded a fishy smell, and it seemed that she hadn’t changed for a long time. Except for her eyes, her whole body was exposed, and only her hands were exposed. Among them, her left wrist was still bandaged. I don’t know if it was because of the injury. , or to hide something on the skin.

“I’ll trouble you then.” Han Fei and the lifeguard left the back kitchen side by side, with Yan Le following closely behind.

There is a long corridor in the middle of the hall where the back kitchen and diners eat. Those diners can’t see the back kitchen scene at all, and it is difficult to smell the back kitchen.

Sitting down at a random spot in the hall, Han Fei wiped off the blood on his arm and glanced around.

This fish restaurant does not look like an abandoned building. There is no dust on the table, seats and bar, only some water marks, as if the diners who come here are soaked in water.

Generally speaking, the place is fairly clean, the decoration is very distinctive, and there are various photos hanging on the walls, most of which are tourists who caught big fish by the lake and took pictures together.

“Han Fei, look at this.” The lifeguard pointed to a photo frame on the wall: “Why does this fish’s face look like a human?”

The closer to the photo of the bar, the more strange the fish on it looks, and the closest place to the bar is only the photo frame, and the photo inside has been removed.

After waiting for almost 20 minutes, the scent of Dandan came out from the dark corridor, and the old lady came out with an iron basin.

“It’s been a long wait. Now I’m the only one in the restaurant, and I’m doing it slowly.” The old lady put the iron basin on the dining table, and the milky white fish was dyed red with peppers. It was fragrant and spicy, which made people look very appetizing.

Tourists who have not seen the back kitchen scene will definitely enjoy it, but Han Fei and the others have no appetite.

“There is no rice noodles in the restaurant now. If there is not enough, I can make you one more fish.”

“A fish?” Han Fei’s lips moved slightly. He had only heard of one person. This was the first time he heard a fish, and he felt that the fish was not an ordinary person.

The lifeguard and Yan Le didn’t dare to touch it, and even the ugly cat shook his head when he saw it, meowing and meowing non-stop.

“Eat it while it’s hot, it’ll be fishy when it’s cold.” When the old lady put down the iron basin and was about to go to the back kitchen, she seemed to think of something, stopped and said, “It’s dark, you better not be in the lake. While running around, just find a place to live in the town.”

“Is it dangerous by the lake? We are also going to fish at night.” The expression on Han Fei’s face looked very simple, and at first glance he looked like an ordinary fishing enthusiast.

“Don’t go.” The old lady’s voice was very serious: “I don’t want to lie to you, the reason why this town was half-built and had to stop construction is because there seems to be a water monster in the lake, and several people have disappeared there. ”

“Water monster?” The lifeguard wiped the sweat from his forehead. He knew that Han Feilai wanted him to go into the water. If there was really a water monster in the lake, then going down would be courting death.

When he thought of that unknown terrifying monster, he couldn’t help but start to panic.

“It turns out that this town is very lively, and there are many fishing enthusiasts who come to play before it is built. They have a good relationship with the night shift workers. When they catch fish, they will directly cook it in the restaurant, and we only charge a processing fee. Everyone is friendly. Annoyed, the boss and investors are also very optimistic about this place, but since one night, everything has changed.” The old lady didn’t seem to be a bad person, she was reminding Han Fei very seriously.

“What happened?” Han Fei and the three were all attracted by the old man’s words.

“First, the night fisher disappeared, and the witnesses saw different situations. Some people said that the missing person seemed to have caught a very large fish and was accidentally dragged into the lake, and then never came up again. Others say that the missing person was fishing, walking into the lake by himself, and disappeared without a sound.”

“Later, the workers who built the town also had accidents one after another. Some people died mysteriously in their sleep, lying on the bed, but the cause of death was drowning and suffocation.”

“Afterwards, something even more bizarre happened. People nearby who often eat big fish in the lake began to grow something like fish scales on their bodies. Those people would make strange noises in their bodies at night. During the day, everyone went to check them. At that time, they found that there were only fish scales and some flesh and blood left on their beds, and the people were gone, and everyone suspected that they had run into the lake and became water ghosts.”

There was only a small light on in the fish restaurant, and the flickering light shone on the old man’s face, which was covered by the turban. It was a little scary.

“Anyway, don’t go near the Great Lake at night. Get a good night’s sleep, and leave when it’s dawn.”

“Thank you for reminding me.” Han Fei wasn’t going to let the old man leave just like that. He noticed a detail: “You said just now that everything has changed since a certain night. Do you still remember what happened that special night? ?”

Dream held a resurrection ceremony by the lake, and that night should be the time for Dream to prepare for the ceremony.

“That night was the day to worship the **** of the lake. The lake was closed and fishing was prohibited. People nearby who depended on the lake for food would come here. Everyone was lively and lively, praying for good weather in the coming year. In the second half of the night, the elderly in the village would invite out the statue of the lake **** enshrined in the ancestral hall. Then find an orphan and come to the island to worship with three tributes.”

“Landing on the island?” Han Fei blinked.

“There is an isolated island in the center of the Great Lake. When worshiping the lake god, I will find an orphan who has no father, no mother, no worries, and grows up with a hundred families. The biggest problem that night was the orphan.” The wife’s tone became hurried: “I have lived well over the years, and there are no orphans and witches in the nearby villages and towns. The owner of the resort went to the orphanage to pick up a child by himself. As a result, during the process of boarding the island by boat, the child went with the statue of the lake god. It fell into the lake, and the body has not been found until now.”

“It’s really not a good sign.” Han Fei felt that the old lady didn’t know about the existence of dreams, so he blamed everything on the ritual of worshiping the gods. The orphans that night were most likely related to dreams, and even the owner of the resort building here is likely to be The person who was bewitched by the dream: “Then what can we do to make up for it?”

“I don’t know, now we don’t even know whether the lake gods or lake ghosts live in the lake.” The old lady shook her head: “If you are interested in these, you may go to the boat rental center to ask after dawn. Q, the person in charge there grew up by the lake and was specially hired by the resort owner.”

“Okay, I know.”

As soon as Han Fei finished speaking, the back kitchen suddenly heard the sound of the door being smashed. With a creaking sound, a door in the back kitchen seemed to be opened.

The old lady’s eyes suddenly became a little flustered: “you remember, never get close to the lake, just stay in the room at night, and don’t think about it. By the way, and the most important point, don’t fall asleep. .”

After finishing speaking, the old man hurriedly ran towards the back kitchen. Perhaps because she was in a hurry, her left hand accidentally touched the bar~www.mtlnovel.com~ The bandage wrapped around her wrist loosened a little, revealing The flesh below was red and bloodshot.

“So tender meat, like fish with scales scraped off.”

Han Fei’s eyes were completely different from just now, he turned his head and stared at Yan Le: “The ceremony of dreams is held by the lake, this lake is called the mind, and the old lady told us not to fall asleep at night, these three seem to be related to each other. ”

“The further you drag on, the higher the probability of the dream coming back to life. Are we going to act tonight?” Yan Le’s mother was a little uneasy. She didn’t like dreams, and she didn’t like Han Fei very much.

“Of course.” Han Fei took out a note from his pocket and put it on the table. He carried his bag and walked to the boat rental center.

In the entire resort, the boat rental center is the building closest to the Great Lake. Han Fei and the others carefully checked all the rooms this time, and finally they concentrated on the person in charge’s private bedroom.

There was a fishy smell in the house, a few stinky water plants were scattered on the walls, and there were large water stains and blood stains on the bed in the bedroom, as well as some thin fish scales.

“It seems to have just left.”

Han Fei was looking for useful things in the house. When he opened the bed, he found a strange statue under the bed.
